Computer housing with removable aesthetic outer shells

Abstract

The present invention discloses a computer housing with specially shaped sides and removably attached aesthetic outer shells. The housing is formed of five sides where by four of them come together to form a sixth side, having at least one of these four sides hinged too open to reveal the interior of the computer housing. The housing is fastened to a base panel of an aesthetic outer shell where a top half section attaches itself to a base panel, concealing the housing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Most personal computers in use today consist of a housing and panels that fasten directly to all sides of the housing. Once a personal computer is selected it limits the consumer to a single designated design, with perhaps the ability to change the front bezel and or its sides with removable square colored panels.[0002]A process called modding can change the look of the computer; this is a way of altering the appearance of a standard computer case by make minor alterations and additions such as adding lights and cutting designs into the computer case. This leaves the original and usual tower and box shape remaining. So many have begun installing computer components into miscellaneous objects or creating ones from scratch. This is extremely time consuming and makes the ability to sell in quantity almost impossible. For the normal computer user such work is unfeasible not only because of the time but the need to possess and be familiar with certain too...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables users to easily customize the look and shape of their computer, improving component installation accessibility and allowing for decorative art-like designs, making it feasible for users with limited technical expertise to modify their computer cases efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

This is extremely time consuming and makes the ability to sell in quantity almost impossible.

For the normal computer user such work is unfeasible not only because of the time but the need to possess and be familiar with certain tools.

In a typical case design the installation of components are usually difficult because of cramped areas leaving little mobility of ones hands.

As the cases form factor gets smaller the more difficult it gets.

The limitations with these are that in order to remove a fully assembled motherboard tray one has to remove the wires that are attached to the motherboard.

While a swing out side panel allows for greater mobility it still leaves some area components confined.

Even once it is removed it still leaves access to the computer components cramped because of the traditional unmovable four pillar housing structure.
